Professional Logo Design - Adobe Illustrator cs6 (Cubic) Video Lecture | How to Design a Logo in Adobe Illustrator: For Beginners and Beyond

hey guys welcome to the exciting
tutorial of creating processes and
today's video will be designing this
logo if you look at this logo this logo
is comprised of a 3d cube where small
pieces of squares has been placed on the
top face as well as on the left-sided
face of the cube and small and each
faces is consisting of four small
squares and from the top one of the
pieces has been pushed downward and from
the left one of the pieces has been
pushed backward and this has created a
illusion of depth to the logo so let's
create this logo so to create the logo
will first create the square of four
small square pieces so to create that
we'll select the rectangle tool and
left-click your mouse button here keep
the width and height 100-500 make that
constant and click OK and after that
next thing is
duplicate this and paste it in the front
to do that ctrl C copy ctrl F to paste
in the front and fill it with stroke
color so give it a stroke color black
and remove the fill color now in this
stroke with the up and down arrow keys
you can increase or decrease the
thickness of the stroke let's keep this
like this and after that we'll select
the line segment tool and draw a
vertical as well as horizontal line
passing through the center so just draw
it out from one corner to under and from
top to bottom
now select all the strokes and the line
segments there's this this with shift
selected shift clicking everything will
be selected convert this and object to
do that we go to object expand and it
will expand the strokes into object form
and later go to Pathfinder and if you
find that in Windows Pathfinder and just
combined it
after that select everything subtract
the strip that portion which we have
made before and you got a square with
four small square comprising now fill it
with this color with a high picker tool
and duplicate one more time and fill it
with this color now the next step is to
make invert this objects into symbol
form and to make it a symbol will first
open the symbol ballot go to windows
symbol and you got your symbol box here
you can put this dragon in and that's
deleted which I have made earlier I'll
just delete it out now to create the
object in the symbol form we'll just
select it dragon inside there give it a
name like let's give this one number one
shape you find that it has been placed
here now select this one and place it
inside and give it number two and click
OK now once the symbol has been formed
you can delete the objects now the next
step is to create a cube so to create a
cube select the rectangle tool
left-click your mouse button and keep it
hundred by hundred go to effect 3d
extrude and bevel here you can create 3d
object using this of options so preview
it give it some thickness 100 and rotate
the angles and make sure that these two
lines are aligned the top and the bottom
one and do it adjusted until it's
aligned now till the angle
and make sure that these two lines
should be perpendicular to the should be
straight that is perpendicular so just
make it perpendicular do it adjust it
keep this - maybe 45 so once you have
done that your 3d cube has been formed
to edit this we need to open one more
option here appearance here you get the
option 3d and extra bevel just click and
that preview it now we will put the
pieces that symbols on this face as well
as on this way to do that go to map art
first make it invisible now you can see
that this top face is selected so here
we'll put this small piece place it
properly scale it down if it's very huge
I think it's good now go to on the face
this is bottom this is backward and we
need this face over here place this
small squares place it properly and you
can scale it up or down using a
according to your preference now you can
go backward also to edit the previous
one if it's not you can just make it a
little bit downward bring it near okay
once you have done that you can click OK
and if you it's okay your angle is good
you can just keep it or you can just
move a little bit like this if you need
to do some correction just make sure
their angles is perpendicular
and click okay so you got your shape now
we need to create this depth of illusion
then to create that we'll just convert
these symbols this whole conversion into
object form to do that we go to object
expand appearance and ungroup it all do
three times select this object release
clipping mask and delete the clipping
mask option that's very same way for
this clipping mask and delete the
clipping mask
peace now ungroup this and ungroup this
so all the piece mall pieces are now
separate now select this one and push it
downward with the down arrow keys and
place it parallel to this now select
this one and push it on the right-hand
side so just put a third push it and
bring it up or under that's this much so
you can push it down a little bit so we
have created the depth of illusion and
almost everything is done you can just
scale it up a little bit and overall you
have created a 3d piece cubic piece now
we need the text so we select the text
option right see you be I see cubic you
can scale it up yeah change the text
desire text you need we'll find that
text in the kettle at here so just we
can even type the text to as ball I
think this is the correct one and you
got it now to fill it with we need to
fill the color just select the color and
you can give some spacing between the
two text two alphabets to do there go to
character and here give some distance
between them scale it down
and place it on the correct place scale
it down if it's huge and we have
finished our text so this is how we have
created this logo very unique looking
logo a small presence of deftness
illusion using the basic tools which we
have used earlier that is 3d extrude
bevel and we have used some symbols and
applied it in a very unique manner and
created this two shaded color logo which
is very professional hope you enjoyed
